Great sandals, my son is wearing them for the second summer, they have stood up to all kinds of abuse from a little rambunctious boy, he wears them everywhere. They are constantly getting wet, in and out of the sprinklers, still no sign of falling apart. They are more than worth their price. Will be buying the next size up for him.

Great quality, waterproof, breezy, beautiful! I love these and wish they would have worked out better for my 3-year-old daughter. The only issue is the width. I had it coming to me because I knew she usually wears a wide size, but I ignored that because I wanted her to have them. They are fine when she's barefoot or wearing thin tights, but she often likes to wear socks and these cut into her foot and are too tight with socks. If your child has a regular width, go for it! Excellent quality and value, especially given the price. We usually buy Stride Rite which are more expensive and offer wide widths, but these are much nicer looking.

Great sandals!!! I've been buying my 7 yr old daughter salt water sandals since she was a baby.... Just purchased these first pair for my four year old son who loves them! They seem comfortable and run true to size! We purchased the brown leather ones and we love how you can dress them up or dress them down! Great buy!!!

So adorable! True to size, he wears a 9.5 nike sneaker and a 9/10 flip flop and these had enough toe room that they'll last the summer. He has borderline wide feet and a high instep and these are comfortable for him. He can even get them off by himself!

These sandals are the best! This is my son's 3rd pair of the fisherman style- his last one he spent a whole day in a wading pool in them and they still looked nice enough to wear to his sister's baptism months later. They don't get smelly even if they get wet, and the buckle doesn't rust. Worth every penny, especially if you can hand them down!

Love these closed toe shoes for my toddler. I like that they are all leather especially in the footbed and the parts that touch the skin. They look adorable. The navy blue is dark and looks almost black. I think this color will be easily matched with a variety of colors/outfits this summer. Works well as play shoes.

Very cute and well made. Loved the style and perfect for dressing ip or down! I did have to go up a size since the size 8 was a little too perfect of a fit and my kid's feet grow fast! Size 9 fits well with plenty room to grow. Perfect summer sandal!!

These did require a little breaking in for my son--he got a blister the first day he wore them. Now, this was a full day of wearing them, we maybe should have done half day first. After that initial break in period, however, the sandals are fantastic. The best part is that they won't develop the horrible smell that his neoprene sandals developed last summer (YUCK) since they are leather. And, because they are able to get wet, when he decided to get all muddy the other day I was able to simply scrub them off under the kitchen sink. Good as new again!

Had my son measured prior to buying (size 5) and for us this fit is true to size. He has a little space for growth but not a ton...I know salt waters can stretch so I am not worried, they should last him through the summer. This brand is my constant go to, no blisters, good in the water, a great shoe! I am happy his toes are protected and he loves them.

Loved these shoes! Wearable with anything! You can easily clean them with a wipe or any damp cloth! My son is 9.5 and this fit perfectly with room for a fast growing feet. Really like that his toes and toe nails are protected with this fisherman sandal style.

Great sandals. Hold up to the wear/tear of kids. Great for everyday, but also special occasions. My kids have been in these for years. Always my go-to summer sandal!

My daughter loves these shoes. Perfect time of year for these, she doesn't slip and slide in them. I was nervous about ordering the size, because my daughter is kinda in between sizes, but the size I ordered was a perfect fit.

Excellent shoe. Hard to find good quality these days...This one has a great sole that gripped well, great leather and we loved that it covered our little girl's toes! She could wear a sandal without crashing on her toes!

Good sandal, but was looking for shoes that are not made in China. Info is misleading. You can see in one of the pictures 'Made in USA', although it is not true. Product is made in China. Will return.

These sandals are adorable! Got these for my 2yr old and liked them so much I ordered another pair in a different color. These sandals were worn every day all summer long and for days at the beach. Received so many compliments on the sandals. I would definitely order a size up because this style runs small being the closed toe style. I will be ordering another pair for next summer.

I ordered these for my 2.5-year-old so he'd have a dressier pair of shoes for church etc. They feel like very high-quality leather and I love the way they look. The insides of the leather strips are very soft. But they just won't work for my son's foot. He has a wide, chubby, tall foot, and these are a narrower, longer shoe. The straps around the foot and toes were squeezing him even though the shoe was much too long. Not a demerit on the shoe - it just isn't the right shoe for him till he leans out a bit.

Best sandals for kids ever. This is our third pair for our son. They last all spring, summer and fall and they are good for everything except where wood chips, etc, make sandals unworkable.

These are comfy, seem durable so far, and fit well. It's great to have real leather but to know that they can get a little wet and withstand kid play. The clasp isn't the easiest, and definitely something a little kid needs help with. We have Keen's for serious wet/ muddy play and the ease of a velcro strap. I'd also suggest you order your usual size & a size smaller to see which fits better. The smaller size fit my kid better.

My boys grew up in Salt water sandals by Hoy. So glad to see they are still available for my grandchildren. These sandals are great, the boys have not complained of any pain during or after wearing them. No marks on feet either. Would definitely recommend them to others and will purchase them again.

Great shoes for my 4 year old! He stepped in mud picking strawberries last week & they rinsed right off & look like new. These are fantastic because not only are they adorable shoes, my busy, active guy can run & play in them!
